We all know if he got on stage at this event, he would broke down and cry. Chili peppers was the best thing ever happen in his life. He was the fan of RHCP, became one of the member and became one of the most influential guitarist in history.
Flea is such a genuine and humble guy! I have so much respect for him! Couldn't help but tear up during his speech. The music industry and the world needs more people like him!
God damn, Flea's speech made me cry. Seeing him so so happy and passionate and on the brink of tears made tears fall. Listening to his speech really made me realize that I want, I always wanted to do something in music.
I’m 8 years late, but I feel the exact same way as you do. Seeing him so passionate stoked that fire within me as well. I really hope you followed your heart and chose to go through with it❤️🫶🏾
Jack never recovered from that loss (tbh I never did too, and I never even met the guy, so we can only imagine how it was for Jack, Anthony and Flea!). But it was great to see him playing with his friends again, even if it was just one song.
Red Hot Chili Peppers may not be the finest, most polished band in the world. But I dare anyone on this planet to find a band with as much love and emotional as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. No matter the lineup, no matter the circumstances, whenever you hear them they touch the heart like no other band can.
I think John didn't come because he would have been a victim of the endless questions of "Is John staying?" "Is John back?" "John did way better than Josh" So instead of stoking the fire he just let Josh have his moment. Since so many people compare Josh to John and how John is better. So instead of causing controversy he just chose not to go. They could have not chose a better guitar player to take Johns place. Josh is worthy and most are unwilling to give him a chance. He's here to stay.
John didn't go because he no longer was obligated to and didn't care to. He only ever really cared about creating and playing music to the best of his abilities- not the b.s. of being famous--including&especially awards. But I'm with you, when John decided to leave the band-- it was his call to make. They knew he would at some point, before they were ready to "retire". He knew he got to where he had had enough and was ready to move onto his projects&life. Away from the circus parade. Haters? I vote Bless Josh for being able and willing to do it. comparing the two of them is stupid. It's just different but that train will keep moving so why bother being negative to Josh? He didn't create the situation but he was able to make sure RHCP remain. Enjoy the new music we all get to hear!
Jonathan Flores victor wooten is not better. He is technically a better player. But just play a good groove (the most important thing for a bass player) flea wins it. Jaco pastorius or maybe 1 or 2 others are better. But you know, i think you only can compare musicians if they play in the same genre! Btw watch stanley clark with friends, with flea. Great jazz bass solo!
I've seen at least a dozen induction on UA-cam, and his was the worst, unfortunately. Dave Letterman had less than 24 hours to prepare to induct Pearl Jam, and did far better.
@@romarina2687 oh yes, he does. Don´t know if you follow the RHCP carrer, but if you do you'll know how Chris listen do their musica and how close friends they´re.
Sad Dave Navarro got no love, One Hot Minute was the album that got me into them and despite it not being their best album will always have a special place in my heart.
Well it was kinda a bad time for the band. They fired Dave Navarro and mananged to get John Frusciante back. They haven't played any One Hot Minute songs since Dave left. But yeah I think some of the speech was edited out (But I don't know that for sure).
Like Dave or not he was part of the peppers history. Their history is iconic and so is Dave. For the peppers to be who and what they are Dave and Hillels fates had to be what they were. It was written in the stars
Huge respect to these guys especially flea getting choked up on his speech. I've been a massive fan for years I still remember buying by the way I'm now 29 still loving every minute of it. God bless the Red hot chili peppers. ✌🏼️
James M first two albums I purchased of theirs was Uplift Mofo Party Plan & Mother's Milk (same purchase). The shift from them with Hillel & Jack to Chad & John was drastic...in a good way. I immediately bought all their albums prior (mother's milk was the new album at the time) and have never looked back since. BSSM blew them up but for me, the opening riff of True Men Don't Kill Coyotes still gives me chills. And they're still as fresh as they were with their first album in 1984. Long live RHCP. Hillel, RIP. You were a true God and we miss you every day. If you haven't heard the band Jack was in a few years later, Eleven, check them out. You will not be disappointed. Stumbled upon them by accident actually at a CD shop in Burbank by my high school. Saw this CD sitting there...this had to be around 1991. I recognized Jack's picture and was instantly intrigued. Saw that band open for a then relatively unknown QOTSA in 2000 at this place in Denver. Anyhow, check them out as well.
While watching the performance i imagine John Frusciante is on stage playing his guitar with his beautiful smile. He deserved to be there so much, it would make everybody happy. We love you John and respect your decisions. God bless you !!
26:10 Reason #349 why Flea is fucking amazing. Reason # 1 why Flea is amazing is just because Flea is Flea. Flea is the Chuck Norris of bass.You just dont fuck with him,he will destroy you.
Flea is just very Iconic to me. I have been listening to the peppers since I was a kid and flea was the first person to make me pay attention to a bass player. There are many other greats,but seeing the live footage of flea at any venue in the last few years shows he is still the crazy onstage persona he has always been,and his heart is still 100% into it.
Chris Rock hit it on the head, I love the Peppers because they mixed styles we'll before it became commercially strategic to do so. They love funk and they didn't lampoon it, they absorbed it. Much respect. Flea is the epic universe to honor George Clinton.
How can you not love the Peppers? Whether or not you love their music, they seem like some of the most genuine people in rock. And I'm not gonna lie... Flea's speech had me tearin' up. He seems like such a wonderful human being.
Definitely. Some photos of the band elicit these raw emotions. Having John in there and showing the members smile is a classic one. Chad may yet be smiling as well... :)
15:10 Love how Flea mouthing along with Anthony, when he told the story about when Flea was about to quit the band. Makes you realize these guys has been through alot, together.
John is the type of person to miss something like this due to feeling bad, awkward, and undeserving of an award because of him quitting the band twice. He is an extreme introvert and hates the type of attention that these events give him. His rare extroverted spirit only comes out of its shell when he’s performing with his band mates on stage. It’s like he doesn’t feel normal in social settings unless he has his guitar in his hands 😂 it’s the main and most comfortable way for him to express himself. I’m so happy that he came back again, and hopefully for good. I think he’ll stay until one of them passes away, because he probably realized how precious his time is with the band/his best friends. He knows that the time they have is limited and wants to make sure he spends as much love, time, and energy with them as he can…god I hope they play until they’re at least 85 years old 😭
I'm a hudge Frusciante fan and I still believe he is the best guitarist in the world. But on the other hand, Josh is really making part of the band now and I think with time, he's become really good!
you know, when you got something crawling under your skin, the goosebumps. you know that you hear the real music. i love this guys so much, thank you red hot chili peppers for being part of my life.
I always feel bad for josh, cause he's a great musician, but he kind of gets left out in a lot of the interviews and speeches and stuff since he wasn't in the band from the beginning.
I kinda feel like that's because he doesn't want to speak.. Yes, he is kind of pushed away since he's new, but keep in mind they have been friends since like 2000! He probably just felt like not talking like always!
Truly a group of boys that have grown physically and spiritually as men in my life. I met these guys in 1985, and fell in love with their energy and stage presence and KNEW they were going to make it big. For them to get inducted and be a part of their beginnings, i feel privileged.
* I love Chad’s simple and easy going ways. ** I love Flea’s obvious grateful love that he feels with the English language and the palpable energy he inspires in all of us. *** I love Anthony’s storytelling ways with his ability to engage humanity. **** And, I love Frusciante most of all. Together, these 4 have created some of the most psychedelic sounds in recent history. THANK YOU, Red Hot Chili Peppers for countless years of exceptional entertainment, and thank you Frusciante for deciding to come back in 2020...for whatever your reason(s) and whatever may come as a result. ***** Keep it rock steady, Chili Peppers, and keep it coming!
No matter what your musical preferences are, you will have a favourite song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I had the pleasure of seeing them about 3 years ago and they still gave it their absolute all on stage like it was their first ever show and had a point to prove.
I rewatched this today, 2020, and I still get a bit emotional during Fleas speech. He’s so emotional about music and it sounds like he’s about to cry multiple times during his speech. True emotion and dedication in his music/playing/performing. + that hug afterwards. Forgive me for any mistakes, English is not my native language. Ps. It’s impossible to see where Flea and the bass ends/begins during a performance, they melt together and Flea *becomes* the bass.
I remember watching this live and crying my eyes out. Grew up with these guys since I was 10 and now am almost 23. Flea and John have been my biggest influences on music and the band as a whole on friendship and love and being the best human being one can possibly be.
What a great group of endless and loving souls have been in this band. Listening to their speeches really inspires me, it’s an honor to be a fan of such a meaningful art form. I discovered them when I was in 8th grade, now I’m 36 years old and it warms my heart to continue enjoying their surreal and stylish art which I really feel is a way nature has to show us the magical potential life has. Peace, love and empathy for everybody. ♥️🎸🦙🌴☮️🕊🎵🏔
RIP Slovak. Man I hope his spirit saw this. People miss him dearly. Literally the start of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. And John I love you more. The GOATS.
My band supported them in 89, Manchester and Camden. It may've been their second Uk performances. Hillel died shortly after. They were kicking smack at the time. They were amazing. Hillel came and had a drink with us.
Mitch Kincaid I agree. I don't dislike Josh as an individual but his music reminds me more of White Stripes/Jack White type guitar playing and is not nearly as technically perfect or melodic, and beautiful as Johns compositions.
+JaCodi Akers He left the band around 2007-2008. He was their guitarist that changed their music for the better co-created all of their greatest hits. Because he left, their songs lack and are missing something (mainly because their current guitarist isn't as experienced). Maybe there will be more improvement from their summer album
+Mitch Kincaid i feel you man i didnt get their new stuff. im a huge frusciante fan. i loved his raw talent. its sad he didnt go . i dont think its about experience though . their current guitarist just isnt him . frusciante is special.
Jeez almost made me cry... The Red Hot Chili Peppers are still my favotie band and all these years of them creating amazing music, The Red Hot Chili Peppers make me so happy listening to them. They really deserve being in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Personally I don’t like the idea of a rock and roll “hall of fame” but this is one of the best speeches I’ve seen by an artist. All were meaningful but Flea’s comments show why he is one of music’s most special ambassadors. A beautiful tribute to Hillel Slovak and total class to have all the past members on stage.

like The Stones
Matthew Lacey fuck you
gonzalo pardo-figueroa Hell yeah! RHCP FOREVER!
All the best bands are. It’s not as much about talent as it is chemistry.
GPF TV this comment needs a thousand thumbs up gor its truth!
If John attended this, we all know he would have gotten the biggest applause ever when he went up to speak.
CocoXo if Dave was there people probably would of booed
We all know if he got on stage at this event, he would broke down and cry. Chili peppers was the best thing ever happen in his life. He was the fan of RHCP, became one of the member and became one of the most influential guitarist in history.
Sound Mind e
how come he didn't go?
musicisgoodcp because john doesnt like be famous he said before that he preffer the begining of the band when they werent famous at all
Flea! You´re the reason why I picked up the bass. I love you man!
Daniel Roth "I would like to honor the great musician John Frusiciante" (whispers to Kiedis Fuck Dave Navarro)
Him and Les Claypool are the main reasons why I love playing slap on my bass
Daniel Roth me too if it werent for flea i wouldn't have gotten to be a good bassist HES MY HERO
Andrew Pappas fuck yeah they're my heros
ocono g Hell yeah, my other influences: Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, Steve Harris and Cliff Burton
Flea is the most beautiful soul that ever existed. He has a heart that's much bigger then California. ;_;
Name like me :)
Lillian Griffin ikr I like died during his speech he's so heartfelt
Bigger soul than most rockers. Can’t you tell?!
Love the man.
I cried during his speech
I was actually going to write the same thing....
Flea is the man, what class, that's how you accept an award of that caliber, love that dude
Joe KooL damn fucking right man, couldnt have said it better. Mad respect for Flea
So true! What a dude! I look up to him on so many levels
Joe KooL I'm not gonna lie,his speech made me cry.Love this guy!
+Joe KooL Flea looks like he easily has another 50 years of bass playing ahead of him. So much energy.
Did you see how he did the introduction of metallica (rock and roll hall of fame). Just brilliant
Chad Smith has to be the coolest drummer ever.
Next to Bonham, Moon, Rich and Paice ....
dockaiser and grohl and Copeland and peart
yeah I forgot Copeland, ....
Wiil Ferrell
dockaiser said coolest not best but I think grohl is a cooler tho
Oh my god Flea has got me tearing up.
+breeanna Dorough He is this good spirit of RHCP. Very funky, very cheerfull and very emotional guy.
+breeanna Dorough he was on acid
+Steven Robicheaux no, they stopped taking drugs a while ago..

hilarious xD
I didn't realize this until I saw your post. good catch
Its amusing now but Im sure it wasnt funny then bc of Anthony's addiction at that time

Looking at Jack's face whenever Hillel is mentioned... that's true friendship there...
R.I.P. Hillel Slovak
100%
Jack never recovered from that loss (tbh I never did too, and I never even met the guy, so we can only imagine how it was for Jack, Anthony and Flea!). But it was great to see him playing with his friends again, even if it was just one song.
flea's speech was so fucking emotional. i love this guy from the bottom of my heart.
Mr. Meeseeks Fuck I dont know wheter to hate u or just agree with u
jack looks so sad in the back, the loss of hillell still haunts him
Yh agreed
:'(
I love how Flea and Anthony both had on shirts/suits and then they start playing... of course, shirts off xD
almost instantly
Couldnt wait to take it off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 feeling red hot ya know 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

11:13 - 11:40
One of the best quotes I've heard regarding music.
Gives me chills.
Me too - when I am feeling like crap and can't go on, I come back to his speech and that quote...I never get tired of it!
Can you write there what he said
reading Anthony's book..scar tissue. ..it's amazing he's alive. ...🙏...love them
I'm reading that right now and it pisses me off of how bad his dad was he got him into drugs
He did ALOT of drugs
Anthony's addiction and Hillels heroin od. Its sad. Good that "Tony" survived

when I was down, I always turn this clip on and listen to Flea's testimony. it makes me don't give up...thanks for uploading #greeting from Thailand.

did all the old members join the Mafia or something?
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

That’s not a bad idea. Something like the dirt.

Since 1983? What are you talking about? They met Josh during the Californication tour in 2000 when the band he was in, Bicycle Thief, opened for them.
I think he meant the rest of the band have been friends since '83.
But the whole conversation was about Josh? That comment was very out of place.

THANK YOU, Red Hot Chili Peppers for countless years of exceptional entertainment, and thank you Frusciante for deciding to come back in 2020...for whatever your reason(s) and whatever may come as a result.
***** Keep it rock steady, Chili Peppers, and keep it coming!
Flea... I love you!!
I love you too!
Proud to be age of RHCP....and a true music maniac since birth myself,...Never will stop rockin to RHCP...
It's truly a blessing to have this band creating music for the world to enjoy & love
To get to love them is a spiritual funky journey
One of the best bands inducted into the Hall of Fame. They are so different and full of energy. Awesome sauce!
Kiedis & Flea ... what a friendship.... they need to make a movie about their life and journey
28:23 look like Billie Joe and Josh are having fun
flea is so amazing
I don´t know how many times I´ve watched this, but everytime when Flea talks about Hillel and John, tears are coming to my eyes. Flea I love you man!
Chad Smith! What a performance, what energy, what precision and what a shirt 😃 Big reason why the chili peppers got on that stage.
Imagine Axl Rose walking onstage, slapping Chris Rock after that comment in the beginning. 😂
AK sang Higher Ground really well! It looks like so much fun, being on stage rocking out to a funky tune with friends. I'm all smiles.
No matter what your musical preferences are, you will have a favourite song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I had the pleasure of seeing them about 3 years ago and they still gave it their absolute all on stage like it was their first ever show and had a point to prove.
I rewatched this today, 2020, and I still get a bit emotional during Fleas speech. He’s so emotional about music and it sounds like he’s about to cry multiple times during his speech. True emotion and dedication in his music/playing/performing. + that hug afterwards.
Forgive me for any mistakes, English is not my native language.
Ps. It’s impossible to see where Flea and the bass ends/begins during a performance, they melt together and Flea *becomes* the bass.
just close your eyes and imagine Marty the zebra inducting the red hot chili peppers into the rock n roll hall of fame
HAHAHAHAAHAH
honestly makes complete sense
Yesterday I had sex
@@FentDealer1899 congratulations
Jk I’m still a virgin :( epic sad
i wish john and josh played together for this show that would av been beautiful. gm
Not gonna lie, Flea's speech got me right square in the feels. What a seriously amazing human being
Flea's speech got to me man 😪
I remember watching this live and crying my eyes out. Grew up with these guys since I was 10 and now am almost 23. Flea and John have been my biggest influences on music and the band as a whole on friendship and love and being the best human being one can possibly be.
I have never seen any other rock band with such energy as the Red hot chili peppers. LOVE THEM
Flea's speech was so beautiful.
One of the most beautiful and inspiring introduction I’ve ever seen
What a great group of endless and loving souls have been in this band. Listening to their speeches really inspires me, it’s an honor to be a fan of such a meaningful art form. I discovered them when I was in 8th grade, now I’m 36 years old and it warms my heart to continue enjoying their surreal and stylish art which I really feel is a way nature has to show us the magical potential life has. Peace, love and empathy for everybody. ♥️🎸🦙🌴☮️🕊🎵🏔
Omg billie joe armstrong slash and RHCP togheter? man that was most fucking perfomace all the time thank you guys
Andres Vergara así es
RIP Slovak. Man I hope his spirit saw this. People miss him dearly. Literally the start of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. And John I love you more. The GOATS.
15:10 Never noticed it before, look at Flea!
OnboardRacing haha love him
That Higher Ground song was amazing
flanunu It was so WOW...everyone up there; a pure musical party FEAST! I loved it!!!
Bringing their original members was a total class-act. Love these guys! Been a fan since the late 80's.
I almost had a tear in my eye hearing flea and anthony's speeches specially about john and hillel.. So heartwarming.
WOW!!! And Flea......man, what a beautiful human being, beautiful soul.
God bless the Red Hot Chili Peppers x.
My band supported them in 89, Manchester and Camden. It may've been their second Uk performances. Hillel died shortly after. They were kicking smack at the time. They were amazing. Hillel came and had a drink with us.
Sorry, yeah memory is not too good. I did consult their gig listing and figured I'd got it wrong.
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Sniff sniff
You smell that
Sniff
Bullshit
IssuesBand Why would I BS about something like that. I don't really like them.
The primitives were also on the bill at Camden Electric Ballroom.
I love how flea's speech is written on a yellow note pad piece of paper.
Words will never describe my love for RHCP and the complete power they have onstage
Red hot is one thing with John... another with him.. clearly.. John is the best musician for the Red hot
I miss Johnny Frusc
+Mitch Kincaid No doubt. Josh's playing here was complete shit.
+Dottie Dig agreed. In my opinion, Josh hasn't done anything. His "I'm with you" parts are so simple that they might as well not be in the album.
Mitch Kincaid I agree. I don't dislike Josh as an individual but his music reminds me more of White Stripes/Jack White type guitar playing and is not nearly as technically perfect or melodic, and beautiful as Johns compositions.
+JaCodi Akers He left the band around 2007-2008. He was their guitarist that changed their music for the better co-created all of their greatest hits. Because he left, their songs lack and are missing something (mainly because their current guitarist isn't as experienced). Maybe there will be more improvement from their summer album
+Mitch Kincaid i feel you man i didnt get their new stuff. im a huge frusciante fan. i loved his raw talent. its sad he didnt go . i dont think its about experience though . their current guitarist just isnt him . frusciante is special.
Jeez almost made me cry... The Red Hot Chili Peppers are still my favotie band and all these years of them creating amazing music, The Red Hot Chili Peppers make me so happy listening to them. They really deserve being in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Will always be my favorite band!
Wow! So exciting to watch this! I love these amazing people 💙
This is beautiful and making me cry. I love the peppers!
best hall of fame acceptance and performance ever !!!!! missed john though
John and Flea deserved to be at the stage together receiving this honor, best guitar/bass combo ever...
Personally I don’t like the idea of a rock and roll “hall of fame” but this is one of the best speeches I’ve seen by an artist. All were meaningful but Flea’s comments show why he is one of music’s most special ambassadors. A beautiful tribute to Hillel Slovak and total class to have all the past members on stage.
